Guidelines for Middle schools Mathematics 2020-21

Year 7 Track 3

The syllabus will be similar to that of 2019-20 with only minor changes which were made in order to

align assessment criteria with the particular levels of the new Mathematics SEC syllabus 2024. The

syllabus for 2020-21 is available on the curriculum website where changes are highlighted in green.

MEDE has set three possible scenarios for the coming scholastic year 2020-2021:

Scenario 1: Conditional re-opening on 30th Sept but with social distancing measures in place, and in

stages.

Scenario 2: Opening of schools on 30th Sept with all students in class as originally planned.

Scenario 3: Re-opening schools in Jan 2021 or later.

The guidelines for term 1 are applicable in whatever scenario indicated by MEDE prior to the

beginning of next scholastic year. It is strongly suggested that for term 1, teachers follow the scheme

of work given below. Guidelines for term 2 and term 3 will be published in due time.
